Sr1r,—Permit me to occupy a small space im your valuable paper to clear myself of the dis. race the Patriot scribblers thought wise to im

ict.on me in Saturday’s paper, 2s regards a prisoner that we were conveying to the Police Station. It says he was thrown on his face and hands. I say it is false; apd can get men of high standing to prove it—men who believe in future punishment. I defy the Putriot géribblers or avy one else to prove that the prisoner Coyle was ill-used in any way by the police who had him in charge. He ill-nsed himself, and tried to ill-use the policemen also. As for myself, there is nothing | dislike more than to see a prisoner bruised or hurt in any

guage totally inadequate to express our con- ceptions of the wonderful powers of dis- crimination which has enabled the Govern- ment to select officials of such varied and eminent abilities. It, of course, demon- strates to our mind that these officials must have been selected by such members of the Government, as, for instance, the Commis- of Public Works, who, from long public service, deep research and close ap- plication to the duties of his office, has been enabled to enter intothe minutiae of official routine in all public departinents. In the Legislature and the Press, continued attempts have recently been made to lead

We will take, for in- stance, the prisoner Coyle: Supposing the po- lice who had him in charge when he resisted, took the handcuffs off and let him go, what would the consequences be? I thimk the con- sequences would be that some of the “codfish aristocracy” travelling through the town at night would get some of the freckles knocked off, which, in my opinion, they deserve for in- terfering with policemen when they are dis- charging their duty towards respectable cit- izens.

Srr,—-Outsiders would naturally suppose that after all the expressions of dissatisfaction

and genius of the various incumbents ;

that the highest salaries are not given to mere copyists, but to men who, from their education and artistic knowledge of branches) of exceptienal study, are peculiarly fitted for the situations to which they have been appeinted—situations which, in some cases, we are almost induced to believe, these gentlemen fill from motives of generosity to the public service. We do not wish, to detract from the merits of any of our public officers, whilst we enter our pro test against statements so much at variance with truth.

To those acquainted with the relative duties of the public officials and the pay of each, these assertions made in the interest of the fuvored ottice-holders are truly ridicu- lous. The object of the Government, of course, is te cover up the incompetency of publie servants on the one hand, and main- tain high salaries in opposition to the wishes of the country on the other. It is well known that the people at the various public meetings held throughout the country last summer declared in favor of retrenchment

to meet the country’s wishes. I! did think,

‘after all that was said and done against the

acts of last session, that the Government—one and all—would have shown a willingless to mend their ways, but all the country’s hopes must now fallto the ground, withered and blighted. There is an old saying, viz., actions speak louder than words; aud surely we have Have they not tried hard to make the people believe

It may be that the Government, counting on its numbers, thought itself a wonderful piece of wisdom. But that the wisdom ofthis world is ‘“‘only foolishness ” has been verified in the doings of our legislature in 1877.. If they had studied todo wrong and to taxand grieve the poor of the Island without giving any return, they could not have gone about it in a more systematic way than they did. Many of the poor farmers said to me last fall, ‘‘Can we have any redress from these bad acts? Will they cail the house and fix the acts and make them easier?” &e. told them then what would happen, viz. : that the Government would not call the house, nor would they repea]l any of the acts passed, or make any perceptible change or retrench- ment. They asked why did I hold that opinion? My answer was, that the leading spirits iu the Govcrament were haughty, proud, inexperienced young men, not capable of

This idea, which was largely endorsed by the press, we are sorry to say, was not supported as it should be, even by Her Ma- jesty’s Opposition. So far from the officials | combining all the rave talents with which they are credited, there are those from the highest down, totally incapable for the du- ties assigned them. But the most glaring discreprency occurs in the relative amounts paid. By what right does one clerk receive $1,200, and the others $800, $700, $600 and €500, respectively’? Is it on accountof the differance of the work, ability, or responsi- bility of there offices? The man who makes such a statement is both ignorant or the duties and abilities of the officials al- Iuded to. The fact is, the discrepency in the amounts paid the various officials arises totally from gross personal favoritism, and from no earthly cause else. It might suit our worthy Commissioner to increase the pay ofone of his newly inducted of- ficials, who, by chance, was, for a few montis, the head of a department—a good Grt—and formerly a schoolmate—quali- ties, some of which are absolutely necessary in all newly-appointed officials of the Govy- ernment. We are astonished that our re-| presentatives should allow dust tobe thrown in their eyes, relative to the difference in the pay of the officials. The salaries should be reduced, graded and equalized according to the work done. The Government know this to be, true, and take no steps to remedy

Tue City of Charlottetown is now em- phatically a wooden one; and froma the number of new buildings constantly going up, we may safely suppose that any addi. tional erections will tend to facilitate a universal conflagration, should such unhap- pily oceur. The Patriot of Monday, in calling attention to city improvements, al- ludes to the recent erections at Dalrymple’s corner, which are nothing more or less than so much food for the next fire. Our city Fathers, having the interests of the citizens at heart, should pass a law bearing upon the kind of new buildings to be erected in the more thickly populated parts of the city, and should not allow such tinder boxes to be put up as those above referred to. When a heavy fire takes place, such as the late calainity at St. John, even brick and stone
